Hope Mama doesn't mind...

but I'm sharing her recipe for an amazing Thanksgiving side dish: Sweet Potato Souffle. On Sunday, I hosted my very first Thanksgiving dinner and cooked for ten people with the help of Angus and Danny. It was quite a success, and it sort of made me excited to cook for Thanksgiving in the years to come. Anyway, I have to thank my mom for providing me with the best recipes in the world! (Thanks, Mom!)

Sweet Potato Souffle

-2 cups of sweet potatoes; peeled and boiled until soft (can use a bit more if desired)-1/2 cup of butter-1/2 cup of sugar-2 eggs- 1/4 tsp. of nutmeg-1/4 tsp. of cinnamon-1/4 tsp. of cloves-1 cup of evaporated milk

Directions: Blend cooled sweet potatoes, butter, and sugar. Add eggs and blend again. Add seasoning and milk. Blend until smooth or slightly lumpy. Bake in a greased pan for 35 minutes at 375 degrees. The middle should look/feel like pumpkin pie when finished.

"The middle place" is the place where women are the primary caretakers for their children as well as their parents. The pain and beauty we experience in this oxymoronic place is unmatched, and through my writing, I hope to help other women navigate their own unique journeys.
